I try to avoid computers in the garage due to my tendency to touch them after, say, pulling the engine from a 1976 Spider or after working on brakes. Some of those keys never come clean. Also, those machines have a tendency to try to mate with my RX8 and reprogram its fuel mapping.
I happen to like football, so the TV-in-garage things works well for me. I subscribe to Direct TV, so I have music as well. And all sorts of other stuff. If I'm working on something which requires complete attention, I pay no attention to the TV. But if I'm doing something repetitive, such as shining up a 2L valve cover or peeling off 35-year-old moulding adhesive, it's nice to have some entertainment. Besides, the TV and sat receiver were sitting collecting dust. So why not? The setup is proving popular with neighbors...folks are starting to wander up and linger. Whether this is for the football or to watch me remove major components from the Spider, I don't know. - Eric Hambleton, Marietta, GA Alfas: 1976 Spider - 1991 164b (John Hertzman's car) Non-Alfas: 1984 Coup De Ville (family car - I'm the 3rd generation owner) - 2009 RX8 R3 (Recaros and Bilsteins, yeah) On Dec 13, 2011, at 5:12 PM, doug sedon wrote: > yup, definitely different horses for different courses. i know there are some tv shows that are worth watching. i stopped watching over 40 years ago; on the whole, i am glad i don't have the option. music, i like - i must have at least 50 tuners! presently i am listening to radio naba; 93.1, riga latvia; courtesy of the internet. http://www.radionaba.lv/ i love this station. :>) > > ymmv, > > dug seed in -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
